“9-1-1: FARMER KEITH JONES MAKES A BREAKTHROUGH IN GENETIC ENGINEERING — TOUPEES IN A POD.” by http://JTK.CA ::: A huge fan of THE FAR SIDE® by Gary Larson, while in college in the late 1980’s, I created 9-1-1, my own cartoon panel series, the first two of which appeared in Covenant College’s student magazine, The Bagpipe. I liked to joke that I called my comic panel “9-1-1” because it needed help. Shortly after I left Covenant College, Dad took me to see Covenant College Chorale perform near Philadelphia, on their Chorale Tour. I had previously been in the Chorale with fellow student Keith Jones, and he was still performing in it, so it was great to see him again. When talking with him after the concert, Keith gave me a donation idea for my “9-1-1” comic panel. The idea was hilarious, “toupees in a pod.” That was 1990. I finally got around to drawing it in 2000, and now I’m finally publishing it in 2018. I’m Jonathan Tad Ketchen, Pr.D. (Doctor of Procrastination).
